HC Deb 18 November 1982 vol 32 c261W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether it is the policy of Her Majesty's Government that an independent Namibia should be invited to become a member of the Commonwealth.

Mr. Onslow

The Commonwealth Heads of Government in their Kingston communiqué of May 1975 said thatthey looked forward to the time when the Government and people of Namibia might be welcomed into the Commonwealth if that were their wish". We continue to associate ourselves with this declaration.
